Hawaii Action Prompt

Our goal is to find one District Captain in every Hawaii state house district. The District Captain's mission is simple: find 100 people in your district willing to contact their state legislators in support of Convention of States legislation next session.

It doesn't take a huge time commitment to make a difference. Five constituent phone calls is often enough to move an issue to the top of a state legislator's priority list. In person meetings are even more effective.

Get involved today by reaching out to your state legislators. Don't know what to say?

The Convention of States Project's application is now officially filed in the Hawaii Senate! On Friday, March 11th, Senator Sam Slom along with seven co-sponsoring Senators, filed the COS application in the Senate seeking an amendment-proposing convention of the states to restore our Constitutional Republic.

The official Senate Resolution number is SR80, along with its identical Senate Concurrent Resolution SCR114.

Now with resolutions filed in 38 other states in 2015 and already passed in 6 states, SR80 sets the agenda of the meeting to consider amendments to, 1) impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, 2) limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government and,3) limit the terms of office for federal officials and for members of Congress.
